IMC’s Head of Operations, Davison Owumi made this disclosure in an official statement released on Wednesday with a new date fixed for rescheduled match between Wikki Tourists and Rivers United.

Owumi added that Mobolaji Bank Anthony Arena, Onikan, Lagos will host the playoffs as the fixture principles have already been articulated with the Group A and B winners to open the contest.

The statement further disclosed that Matchday 15 tie in Group B between Wikki and Rivers United was postponed due to Rivers’ engagement in the Confederation Cup.

The match will now take place next Wednesday, May 10 in Bauchi while new dates for the MatchDay 12 tie against Sunshine Stars and MatchDay 16 against Doma United will be announced in the days ahead.

“The Group A matches would be concluded on Sunday, May 14 and we are looking forward to having the other two outstanding matches of Rivers United completed within the available windows to ensure that Group B last fixtures are held before the Playoff kickoff date”, Owumi told IMC Media.

An advisory has been communicated to all clubs to put them on notice and getting them to plan their logistics to honour the fixtures as may be announced by the league organizers.
